Brentford (A) - Saturday 5.12.20

I really don’t understand what davenport has done wrong. He showed yet again his class against Preston after coming on. He’s had limited chances and shone. He’s been the best of the midfield holding players when on the pitch. Baffling. Apart from that happy with the team. COYB

hopefully brentford will take time to get used to their new home,griffin park was a difficult place to win at,this one might be more away team friendly

[Stuart]

Quite shocked by the crowd at Brentford.

That is NOT what social distancing looks like.

...Fuck’s sake, more adverts during the pre-match coverage!!

He's just too far down the pecking order. None of our midfielders have been poor enough to drop down in the pecking order IMO besides Evans, who I don't really want to see again this season. Realistically he's not getting a game unless both Johnson and Trybull are out.

Why would anyone want Armstrong wide is just baffling after his goal scoring record from that 9.position

He scores a lot coming off the left.

It’s his passing ability that sets him apart from the likes of trybull . They can both win the ball and gain possession, the difference is davenport can pass long short and get us on the front foot. He should be next to Travis as a starter

[Stuart]

It’s actually making me angry watching these crowd shots. Surely the fans weren’t intended to be crammed into one stand?!

We can’t have ANYONE in yet London were the rate is rising can have people in close quarters shouting and singing?

We’ll be in another national lockdown on the back of this London Tier 2.

Joke.

can you tell us the score as well,we`ll make an absolute killing on it?

[CD_93]

Can’t remember the last time an away team was announced on to the pitch separately just so they can get royally booed.

Hope we spoil their fun,

What could he do with Holtby clearly struggling to maintain his levels? He put a pic on Instagram the other day of him having 4 back to back cryo sessions to help him recover. 

The 433 system needs the two flanking midfield players who can get up and down for it to to work. No problem if Holtby needs to be dropped for fitness but I think we need a different sort of player than Trybull to come in.

My expectation now is we will sit very deep in this game with both Trybull and Johnson deep and the forwards will be isolated. Hope I'm wrong.

Have a Davenport or even Buckley in instead of one of them and I would expect us to be much more on the front foot.

[chaddyrovers]

Elliott starting left, Armstrong centre and Gallagher right.

The Brentford commentator does not have a good broadcasting voice. Very nasally.

It's pretty shocking and so many not wearing their masks properly. I live in Melbourne and we had one of the strictest lockdowns in the world... I was skeptical initially, but the results speak for themselves. 0 new cases for a month, and now 0 active cases as well. Don't understand why more governments don't follow suit.

cheating ****** ****

Maybe Davenport. Buckley is way off the pace. I really don't get how anyone would think he is a viable starter at the moment. Far too weak and gives the ball away far too often. Makes the odd decent pass, but far from enough imo. 

Even with Davenport though, Trybull and Johnson have been there and done that and for an away game against an attacking side, I can see what they offer.

Nope - Elliot false 9, Armstrong left. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Calm down all, players are just swapping positions. Looks pretty fluid so far. 

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

He's playing the highest scoring striker in the Championship on the wing?

I like the camera angle on Ifollow. 

Forward switching roles, pitchforks down all 

[Exiled_Rover]

Toney needs to stfu.

[Oldgregg86]

Started really positive. Enjoyable opening

Then you did, so it was worth saying
